Best Underground Club

Pony

Though its patio is open for all to see, Pony offers everything you could want in a traditional underground venue. Thanks to forward-thinking purveyor of cool Marcus Wilson, who throughout his time in Seattle has shown himself to be three to five years ahead of the masses, Pony has an anything-can-happen vibe that lends itself to memorable evenings. The spectacularly curated music, colorful clientele, and overtly crotch-centric decor have all been carefully calculated to dictate that if you don't find men juicy, or are at all bothered by men who do, you absolutely cannot hang at Pony, even if you don't need a key or secret handshake to enter.
